The use of computer-based test interpretation (CBTI) in career assessment raises numerous ethical and professional issues. For example, how do current testing standards apply to tests on the Internet? What are appropriate and inappropriate uses of CBTI in career assessment? How can CBTI be successfully integrated into the career counseling process? Who is qualified to use CBTI? What are the potential benefits and problems with CBTI? In an attempt to answer some of these questions, this article examines the nature of CBTI and the use of CBTI in career assessment. Strategies for establishing and communicating the validity of CBTI are also presented. By proactively addressing potential ethical and professional issues, it is more likely that this technology will contribute to positive outcomes for individuals, clients, and practitioners.
